Jazakumullahu khairan.

Answer:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

There is no specific dua mentioned in the ahadith for stopping quarrels between the parents. However, you should try to encourage your parents to practice deen and to bring deen into their lives and home through a’maal such as reading Quran and doing ta’leem daily as this will inshallah bring the mercy of Allah in the house. When arguments begin to arise in the home, recite أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم loudly to encourage your parents to control their anger. Also, make dua to Allah (swt) to soften their hearts for one another, as it is Allah (swt) who controls the hearts of people.

Additionally, the following duas from the Quran may be read for them:

رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

“My Lord, have mercy on them, as they raised me when I was a child.” (Quran 17:24)

رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لِي وَلِوَٰلِدَيَّ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلۡحِسَابُ

“Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day when the reckoning will take place.” (Quran 14:41)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي

“O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family, and my wealth.”

Also, frequently recite this verse from Surah Rum:

))وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنۡ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجًا لِّتَسۡكُنُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحۡمَةًۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٍ لِّقَوۡمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ)). (سورة الروم: آية ٢١)

“And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.”(Surah Rum :21).

And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
